Freedom Fatalism and Foreknowledge

We typically think we have free will. But how could we have free will if for anything we do it was already true in the distant past that we would do that thing? Or how could we have free will if God already knows in advance all the details of our lives? Such issues raise the specter of fatalism. This book collects sixteen previously published articles on fatalism truths about the future and the relationship between divine foreknowledge and human freedom and includes a substantial introductory essay and bibliography. Many of the pieces collected here build bridges between discussions of human freedom and recent developments in other areas of metaphysics such as philosophy of time. Ideal for courses in free will metaphysics and philosophy of religion Freedom Fatalism and Foreknowledge will encourage important new directions in thinking about free will time and truth.
